Made in a tiny town in the Burgundy region of France, Epoisses by Berthaut is one of the great cheeses of the world. It is a name-controlled cheese that has a very pungent aroma and rich, creamy interior. Each cheese is covered in an edible reddish-brown coating, and underneath that, a creamy, white interior with a delightfully daunting aroma that comes straight from the farm. This handcrafted cheese is first washed in brine, then cured in humid cellars for four weeks. After this brief aging period, the rind is rinsed with Marc de Bourgogne, a liqueur that is a by-product of the local wine industry. Please beware: Epoisses is so stinky that it is banned on public transportation in France-- a country usually tolerant of such aromas. This aroma will prevail in the box on arrival, so don't be alarmed.

A WONDERFUL CHEESE! WE CONSUMED TWO WHEELS AND GAVE TWO AWAY...ALL GOT RAVE REVIEWS. SADLY, ONLY ONE LEFT.

One of the world's best cheeses.

We discovered this fantastic cheese while living in Brussels and continue to buy it whenever we can. If you are a cheese gourmand, you will love this fromage!

Wonderful Stinky Cheese

Well packed and chilled on ice packs, this cheese is reminiscent of brie in texture and Limberger in aroma and flavor. Gets more flavorful as it gets closer to room temperature. The container is wonderful, and the rind is delightful. Will buy this again!

My Favorite Stinky Cheese

All three cheeses(Bleu d'Auverne, Mimolette, Epoisses) a had purchased were for the appetizer at a dinner party. the guests were raving about all of them and it all disappeared. Most of the quests had never tried these cheeses.
